Plot

The plot of the Dark Kingdom arc closely follows that of the first season of the original Sailor Moon anime. The game follows Usagi Tsukino, an underachieving crybaby schoolgirl who is informed by a talking cat named Luna that she is the reincarnation of the guardian deity Sailor Moon, tasked with battling the forces of the Dark Kingdom, led by Queen Beryl. One by one, Usagi meets the reincarnations of the other guardian deities: the shy but intelligent Ami Mizuno, who transforms into Sailor Mercury; the shrine maiden Rei Hino, who transforms into Sailor Mars; the tomboyish romantic Makoto Kino, who transforms into Sailor Jupiter; and aspiring idol Minako Aino, who transforms into Sailor Venus. Minako is joined by Artemis, another talking cat and Luna's partner.

Trivia

The Dark Kingdom story arc has the most unlockable characters of any story arc, with five.

Changes from the Anime

Since Sailor Moon Drops is intended for all ages, and since it is a loose adaptation of the original Sailor Moon anime, a certain number of scenes from the anime had to be cut or changed.

In the anime, Usagi was unaware that she was Sailor Moon until being told so by Luna. In the game, however, Usagi starts off already knowing that she is Sailor Moon.

In the anime, Jadeite was killed by Queen Beryl after failing her one too many times, being replaced by Nephrite. However, in the game, Jadeite simply disappears.

In the anime, Nephrite was killed by Zoisite after falling in love with Naru Osaka. However, due to Naru's lack of influence on the story mode of Drops, this was removed, and Nephrite simply disappears.
